Answer:
Molecular geometry around each carbon atom in a saturated hydrocarbon is Tetrahedral.

Explanation:
 In saturated hydrocarbons (-CH₂-) the central atom (carbon) is bonded to either three or two hydrogen atoms and one or two carbon atoms. So, the central atom is having four electron pairs and all pairs are bonding pairs and lacks any lone pair of electron. According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory the central atom with four bonding pair electrons and zero lone pair electrons will attain a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109°.

Answer:

Hydrophobic amino acids

Explanation:

Hydrophobic amino acids are the amino acids which do not reside in the aqueous environment. These amino acids are generally buried within hydrophobic core of protein or the protein fold or lie in lipid portion of membrane.

Hydrophobic, as the term implies - hydro means water and phobic means fearing. These amino acids have little or almost no polarity in side chains. This lack of polarity make them water fearing.

Why are nutrient molecules important?

ycow [4]

Answer : Option A) The body breaks down the molecules into molecules they need.

Explanation : Nutrient molecules are important because the body breaks the nutrient molecules and convert it into the absorb-able molecule that can generate energy for doing the activities of the body.

Nutrients are taken in the body in the form of carbohydrates which later on gets broken into glucose molecules and generates energy, proteins which is decomposed into amino acids, fats breaks down into fatty acids, minerals and salts are also nutrients which is essential nutrient for body.
